How the hell do you blame him? You rather have him passed the ball?, to whom? no one was open. Last year, he had an open shot and he passed and he got blamed for it. This year he had an open shot and he took it, and you are blaming him too?

had timeouts and plenty of time. also had kobe cutting for a wide-open layup

Pau, I am sorry. I am your big fan... but I'm seriously disappointed. You're jacking up long 2s, you forget you can call timeout on the last shot, you don't jump anymore, you shoot that quasi-fadeaway and always end up on the floor. That's sad man. I don't know what else to say.

last year he had open midrange...now he shooted covered up corner 3...big differnce...he got ball with 10 sec on and he shooted it with 4sec on the clock...he had 10 sec to make better decision...

"The first time I ever saw my uniform hanging in the locker I put it on right away, and it just felt like I was putting on golden armour. From that day forward, I just called it 'the golden armour', it just felt like there was something mystical and magical about it" - Kobe Bryant.

He goes through stretches where he just doesnt look engaged. And then he'd grab a great rebound and go up weakly with the shot and miss...or grab a D Board and then sleep while it gets taken from his hands.

Its amazing how different he is from game 7 2010. That Pau would slap this version of Pau.

I'm not blaming Pau, a lot of things contributed to the loss, but he can't be paid 19 million and play this poorly. He has no aggression, no desire to do anything other than shoot outside jumpers, it's just bad.
